I made some small updates to the gallery and added my resume and changed the theme to Fluidityrs 1.0 which was created by Kaushal Sheth. I think its pretty snazzy don’t you? The gallery now has some more freelance work as well as some of my photoshop art.The resume section needs work but at least its something for now. On another note, things have been going along nicely for me, production for each group I am working with is shaping up really nicely. I have also managed to create a logo for my own company. I will register it when things pick up more. I have also finished my fourth day of teaching animation which so far has been a cool experience for me.
This is off topic and might be a little late but, for those of you lucky enough to be living in America and love animation should then stop by the Japan Society to see a history of early Japanese animation. For those of us on a more northern front you might want to check out our very own Japan Foundation, for the o’ so cool “Spirit of Budo” event happening there. Last time I went they had a history of Shojo Manga exhibit which was very informative so don’t be afraid to check back with them often! Well then I’m off!

yes that right I have been given a teachers position at a new prep school in mississauga called Thinnox. I will be teaching a digital illustration course; right now I’m creating lesson content for the school. I am still doing work for that new production company too, because of this I have not been able to update as often as I intended. Well stay tuned, I might have something comming up for future updates to the site.

phew, have I been busy. On top of my own personal projects I have been working a customer service job and freelance for a up and comming production company. When I have time and with the proper permission, I will post some shots with regards to what I have been up to. Ah well I guess I will just have to play Resident evil 4 again to unwind. Damn fine game on the wii I must say…

here he is fully rigged and ready to animate. Here is a picture, a render test if you will. I am quite proud of how I rigged him, he has an ik fk spine, and hair dynamics for the scarf. I intended to to the same for the pants but I felt that there was enough hair related content involved in this rig. Honestly, its late, so I might just be lazy; maybe tomorrow I will consider it….

On another note, back in November I purchased a Nintendo Wii and till this day Im still loving it. Thats not the point though; the point is that the wii> a new way to play + the opera internet browser = www.wiicade.com. This tiny website is a little slice of heaven for me since its a collection of flash games that actually work with the buttons of the wii remote controller (wiimote). Now you may be wondering what am I getting at, well lets just say that it opens up a whole new side to gaming for me. The homebrew and ameture game developer side actually. It has got me so interested that I have decided to learn flash 8 and create games of my own that will work with the wii or pc. Maybe Im getting in over my head, but this has got me excited so Im going to try my best!

Well its been a while I have recently gotten a job at none other than a Rogers Video…… It may not be the movie industry but at least it has some involvement in that area. Fear not however, I am still working on getting a steady 3d job. Ive recently been asked to animate for a up and comming production company, so wish me and this new studio the best of luck. Anyways enough of my ramblings, heres something new> a new character! Give a warm welcome to Sakurambo Jimmy! I intend to create a animated short featuring this character. I am going to put more focus on the character animation and interaction with other characters as well. I will post more work as it comes. As for the more realistic human head I created; that will be for a future project seeing how I still have not gathered enough resources for that project yet.

Here he is in all his glory.
